Signature Dishes
Fried stinky tofu
Served after 5 p.m.; it may be crisp outside and juicy inside, though it can also be soft, with mildly sour pickles to cut the richness.
Braised pork rice
The sauce has scallion oil; it is centered on fatty pork and pork skin, yet not greasy. There is also a past record of a large bowl having relatively little braised pork.
Spicy duck-blood stinky tofu
You can choose it non-spicy or replace the duck blood with vegetables; the broth is light and mildly spicy rather than a deep-red chili-oil style, and the tofu is thick and absorbs the broth.
Wonton soup
The broth is fresh, lightly sweet, and clean, seasoned simply with celery bits and pepper; the wontons are large, with a full, firm pork filling.
Zhajiang noodles
The thick zhajiang sauce is rich and mildly spicy, and the large bowl is generous, but it may feel heavy toward the end.
